Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these on they're 6 piston set up? Currently running the EBC redstuff and am not impressed, they dust like crazy!

Thanks

I use Disc Itaila Ceramics. I get 0 brake dust and 0 noise. I heard some that track car have these pads fade, however, I do not track my car like that so I do not have that problem. If brake dust is your main concern, I cannot recommend them enough.

ugh they're just sooo damn expensive, almost $200 for the fronts alone! (keeping in mind I'm running the SLk55 6/4 set up)

weird that the 4 pot fronts are a 4th of the price of the 6pots, i mean they're not that much different in size, rediculous!

Buy some Akebono brake pads. I just put a set on my wife's ML55. It's been 3 weeks and NO brake dust. Much better than before.

I"ll put a set on my w208 55 soon.

I have a set of Akebono Euro Ceramic and i've got almost zero dust.

I have an 05 CLK55, so I have the same brake setup as you. It is expensive, but no brake dust is worth it to me. If I was keeping my ML55, and if it needed brakes, I would definetely buy a set.

A friend of mine at my work has a C55, he asked how do I keep the wheels so clean on my CLK55 all the time. I told him about the pads, and he immediately bought them. Now he enjoys 0 dust as well, and loves them.

ive been using akebono ceramic pads all around for 4 months now....no brake dust at all....great stopping power ....especially with the stainless steel brake lines and super blue dot 4 brake fluid....

cant use the akebonos...and thanks Nachsturm for the input, i was hoping I wouldnt have too mostly because I just bought the EBC redstuff pads! lol

Why can't you use Akebono?

they dont make them for the clk/slk55 6 pot front calipers...only the rear
